I wonder if these UPSs support replacing the stock battery with something much larger, without requiring upgrades to the internal circuitry. I imagine this might be safe if you're not going to be going over the watt rating for the UPS, and possible too since all these batteries and UPSs probably use a standard connector.
You could add more batteries in parallel to extend the time. The current needed is stored in the battery as a chemical reaction. If you have more lead plates covered with more sulphuric acid, you can keep the computer running longer - it will just take longer to recharge the batteries.
Laptops couldn't exist when the first lead-acid UPS's were made. As the years went by, we discovered sumarium-cobalt magnets that allowed electric motor-powered model airplanes and various substances that could store more electrical charge. We're still waiting for the break-thru that will make electric cars cheap enough and long-distant enough to compete with a 1.4 liter Toyota gas car. It will happen.
Maybe we need to study more Material Sciences instead of software engineering. I bet there are multiple jobs waiting for the guy that comes up with the right chemistry for the electric car battery. Chemistry/Physics/Art/Math would be what I'd take in school today.

Hmm...
